casually dressed & deep in conversation
Layla, you got me on my knees.  Layla,
I'm begging darling please. Layla,
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?

. . .

(in the gym, colin has a serious chat about the regularity of his training sessions.)

trainer: so i will expect you to come for gym twice a week. must come ah. else i'll call you.

(colin's face fails to hide his disappointment.)

colin (reluctant): walao. i got school you know. not easy to keep with work leh.

trainer: serves you right what, who ask you want to go AG, now we must take special vip care of you like this right.

interesting way of looking at things.

anyway peter logan has decided that one gym session per week is no better than not going at all. now all i'm supposed to do is give him a ring whenever i decide to venture up mt. faber, and perhaps he would try to accompany me.

somehow its kinda funny, thinking of all the effort put into making us fitter, stronger, world class sailors, with things like

v02max test
maximal strength test
hiking test
3km weekly run test
hypertrophy
advance training squads
part time coaches lol
training logs
physiotherapists, pyschologists
inspirational/motivational speeches by adrian
posters hung up all around nsc

and yet at the end of another sorely-lacking-in-breeze sort of day, seng leong, weiguo and i still find it a struggle to make significant, visible improvements in training. it's just a tad depressing to see people hiking out and working hard and getting ahead of you while you stare in wonder from a static position.

i'm supposed to be light for the radial. haha... sigh. poor seng leong.

on the same extreme we have steven lefevre up in the top 5 of the qingdao test races.

it's a crazy sport for crazy people.
